SOOO, now the dust has settled, what of the Ryger? Were we all duped? Or was it a case of something not transfering across to production from prototype very well? Was it 70HP simulated but not in real life? But Frits drove the Kart and gave glowing reports so there must have been some real power at some stage in development.
But Luc F keeps saying "wait another week" "information released shortly" , I think we are past "peak" Luc
There must be something to all this Ryger Hype but its hard to decipher, something must have gone wrong with their test programme, I believe about five or six months ago.
Harry should have spilled the beans here on KB and we would have sorted the problems out for him
Perhaps we are without knowing?
O well, on with our own "rygers" I guess. I'm over it.

[wobbly]

Yea you are right Flett,we were so enamored by Frits rhetoric that just maybe we got blindsided.
As I said the person or people that are running the Ryger PR bullshit spin doctor machine should be shot, or at the very least
have their private parts chewed off slowly by army ants.
The absolute incompetence that we see in the CIK application with drawings that dont match the reality of the attached pictures etc etc makes me spew,
and this usually only happens when I down the wrong cocktail of serious chemicals, whilst listening to a torture tape loop at 112dB of Donny or slut features Ga Ga.

You'd think that sort of activity would be easy enough to avoid

I double checked my engine model in engmod yesterday, and as I couldn't find anything wrong I went on to experimenting with fuel.

How bad would it be to run 10% oil mix?
Meth/nitro mix containing >10% oil and < 30% nitro is outside the restrictions and readily available in Norway.
Common RC fuel; methanol with 30% Nitro. Only thing changed was compression to 22:1 from 14.5:1, and afr adjusted to 3:1(picked a number I thought would be in the ballpark).
The results speak for themselves...

[AndreasL]

As mentioned before, by Frits, nitro don't add power, it multiplies it. You get what I mean.
Nice result Alex!

What version of the 2tPost do you run?
I believe I have the latest version but can't get the cursor to show up.

My version is 2.2.6a

[AndreasL]

Thanks adegenes.

Not sure about the "a" but 2.2.6 it is...
I will see what Neels says.

Something weird/interesting:

I had another go with my bike on the roller yesterday. Now with the gas/xylene mix. It started and seemed to run fine, but didn't want to rev much higher than 12k under load. Max temps where low, CHT 280°F, EGT 1035°F. It did not sound/act rich.
Could this be the fuel once more? Maybe most of the xylene is just passing through without contributing much to the combustion? I'm basically running lean, but not hot cause the unburnt fuel cools the chamber/piston?

I'm ditching the homebrew fuel.

....Unleaded likes to be alot richer and makes more power with more advance so that setup makes best power at around 1050.

Ok, so 1035F EGT is pretty much what to expect from unleaded, CHT is still far too low at 280F.
Conclusion; Most of the xylene in my mix was burning late in the combustion process, not contributing much to pressure rise in the chamber, but heating up the pipe. Makes sense?

Gents, Kelvins or Celsius please! 😉😂

any word if them thermos are done yet

Not duped, excitement and marketing hope dashed by reality, I expect they absorbed a few ideas from the input on this thread, and something may still come of it.

The local ideas look pretty promising, plenty of talented people here.

Gents, Kelvins or Celsius please! ����

F = Fahrenheit converting F to C .... 1035F = 557C and 280F = 138C , plenty of converters on Google.

Kelvin and Celsius both have the same size steps, the difference is:-

Celsius starts at the freezing point of water and is 100 equal steps to the boiling point of water.

Kelvin starts at absolute zero and is 273K at the freezing point of water (yes, ice is hot compared to some things in the universe) and Kelvin is 373K at the boiling point of water.

So:- 1035F = 830K and 280F = 411K

You could have found out for your self, a quick Google would have given you the answer....... ​

No, and no word either.

Reality, always spoils the fun.
